Experience
Dan has spent many years scouring P/E Ratios, dividend payouts, and earnings reports. He's always on the lookout for the next big thing, although he watched somewhat jealously from the sidelines as the GameStop saga unfolded. His writing has often centered on information surrounding indicators of marketplace changes, strategies for maximizing the savings portion of the budget, and even how real world events influence cryptocurrency markets. Dan is fascinated with all things investments, and he's recently started focusing that attention on the financials of investing in home improvement projects. He knows that the market is a fickle beast, but tries his best to make calm, careful sense of it nonetheless.
Education
